Elsevier Fundamentals of Bioaerosols Science: From Physical to Biological Dimensions of Airborne Biological Particles

Product Description Introduction to Bioaerosols Science: From Physical to Biological Dimensions for Airborne Biological Particles captures the entire picture of both the physical science and biological dimensions of bioaerosols science. Physical scientists are often unfamiliar with biological aspects of bioaerosols science (e.g., molecular biology, PCR, DNA sequencing, and so on), while biologists are often unfamiliar with physical aspects of bioaerosols science (e.g., aerosol science, air sampling, aerodynamic diameter, and so on). Introduction to Bioaerosols Science covers topics including physical properties of bioaerosols, sampling and monitoring methods, analytical methods, control technologies, and impacts on the climate. The book is primarily for graduate students and researchers and professors who have non-biology (e.g., physical, chemical, or engineering) backgrounds, such as meteorology, Earth science, atmospheric science, climate science, and environmental science and will be useful for those with biological background as well. Review This book fills the knowledge gap between biologists and non-biologists in the field of bioaerosols science, an interdisciplinary subject of physics and biology From the Back Cover <i>Introduction to Bioaerosols Science: From Physical to Biological Dimensions for Airborne Biological Particles</i> captures the entire picture of both the physical science and biological dimensions of bioaerosols science.

About the Author Dr. Naomichi Yamamoto is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Seoul National University (SNU). His current research interests are in the areas of i) aerosol science, ii) aerobiology, and iii) environmental genomics. His research team strives to explore human and ecological risks of bioaerosols, such as bacteria, fungi, and pollens, based on molecular biology-based approaches including high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics techniques. Before joining to SNU faculty in 2012, Dr. Yamamoto worked at Yale School of Engineering as a postdoctoral fellow supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). He received his B.Eng. degree in applied physics from Waseda University, M.S. degree in environmental health sciences from UCLA, and Ph.D. degree in environmental studies from the University of Tokyo.
